    Email Access

    I know there have been polls about this before (over a year ago), but what do you use to access your email? I was always a webmail kind of guy, but recently I am been trying different clients (Pine, Thunderbird, Evolution, Balsa)

    *I just saw I misspelled email..... d'oh!

    Just set up Thunderbird for the first time, and am really liking it.

    Just check /var/mail since I'm running a mail server just for me

    Just curious, Juan, which server (postfix, qmail, etc) do you use?

    it's Juan Pablo ... it's like just one name

    I'm using postfix, just a quick and dirty configuration, but works!

    This should probably be the kind of poll where you can select more than one answer. A bunch of people use both Webmail and independent e-mail clients.

    I keep one Webmail count (currently Yahoo) open for correspondence that's likely to attract spam. I'd been using Evolution for other accounts, but recently switched to Thunderbird for its drag-and-drop support.
    Stand up and be counted as a Linux user!
